<p>New piece of trivia. With President Obama receiving the Nobel, I believe the U of C now stands alone as having the most affiliated Nobel winners of any university in the world.</p>

<p>President</a> Barack Obama, a former Law School Senior Lecturer, wins Nobel Peace Prize | The University of Chicago</p>

<p>Nobel</a> Laureates | The University of Chicago</p>

<p>I know there is dispute about who gets to claim who, but most schools now go the affiliated route. So as an affiliate, Obama gets listed by, Chicago, Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard.</p>

<p>Wasn’t there another one earlier in the week? Before Obama?</p>

<p>Yep, that one tied Cambridge University.</p>

<p>University of Chicago: Nobels, no whistles</p>

5

<p>Physics. Smith did his PhD work at Chicago.</p>

<p>Chicago’s had a pretty good track record in Econ and Physics Nobels.</p>

<p>

Nope. Both Cambridge and Chicago have 85.</p>

<p>You’re right, Cambridge picked up a chemistry affiliate award this year. Econ is next, but after the downturn Chicago guys may not be the best bets. :)</p>

<p>idad,</p>

<p>Econ prize? Depends on whether the Nobel guys understand econ better than the press does. </p>

<p>The press has so badly mangled the “chicago school” of econ that I’m not sure. After all, the Chicago folks never said they had a perfect understanding of the markets. </p>

<p>But this is a story for another day.</p>
